Submitting resolutions for the AOR meetingis encouraged but not required. Read resolutions passed during previous years. Beneficial resolutions - When creating resolutions, keep the idea broad so that the volunteer committees will haveroom to work with their creativity and so the resolution is achievable.o Example: Resolution 2012‐02 The Student Academy resolves to establish a PA student mentorship programwhose aim will be to connect current PA students and existing student society leaders with interestedpre‐PA and high school students with the intent of helping guide interested individuals in their progresstowards PA school. -CARRIESo Reasoning: Note that in this example it is not specified how they will connect with students. This allowsthe use of social media, forums, direct contact, etc., allowing the committee to find the best possible wayto make the resolution succeed.Problematic resolutions -These resolutions are items that are related to AAPA and their business/fiduciarydecisions, which can’t be dictated by PA students. Make sure the resolution is within the scope of what theStudent Academy can accomplish.o Example: Resolution 2012‐18 The Student Academy proposes to encourage the AAPA investigate optionsto allow students to have access to EMR to allow students to be able to review past medical history, labs,studies, and the ability to document as a student in charts. – FAILSo Reasoning: We can encourage these organizations to investigate these topics or suggestions, but we aren’table to make changes to curriculum requirements. PAEA and ARC-PA are organizations focused on PAprograms and education.o Example: Resolution 2013‐11 The Student Academy resolves to encourage all PA programs to participate inpromoting the profession during National PA Week – October 6‐12. -WITHDRAWNo Reasoning: The AAPA already encourages PA programs to participate in National PA Week. If AAPA isalready working on something, the Student Academy will be expected to participate in some way –youdon’t need a resolution to empower that action.Student AwardsThe following student-related awards are given by AAPA. PA Student of the Year: This award honors a PA student who has demonstrated exemplary service. Student shouldbe a member of AAPA.

Currently, students have the largest number

of delegates, meaning they have the largest collective vote.
